Best Of

Per the above, I now send everything more than a few hundred bucks via fedex, cost a little more, but worth the price knowing its got a much better shot at arriving than usps. Submissions to the grading services are either sent fedex now or driven there or show they are at.

I’d ask in the $500 range and expect it to sell close to that. PCGS slab always helps. Scarcer double crescent toning pattern with decent looking color saturation, though perhaps also a tad dark. Satin luster as you’d expect for the date/mint.

The 45k was a preliminary listing prior to the no reserve auction listing. Phil's photos are now posted.

I couldn't decide which photos best represent these coins. So I thought why not put up both of them? Especially for the privy mark version.

I'm glad that you did, please keep this up.
Especially for coins of high interest and high value, old or new.
Much appreciated!

more coolness

We got thieves in the distribution center here locally, the post office, knows, the post master knows it, but yet nothing is done. they say they cant pin em down. Numerous packages of mine have been stolen the past 6 months

You should hide a small tracker or camera in your package. See if you can bring some proof to the postmaster.

I put an AirTag in there above a certain threshold, can track it cross country.

@ARCO. The only modifiers I would apply are common , better date and rare or recently popular.
You can buy a 1858-o PCGS 40 Seated Half for just about the exact same price year in year out.
You will pay at least a 50% mark up on any better date coins in XF or better compare to 2015.
Look at dates such as 1840 sm letters, civil war dates, 1870-s, 1972-s in grades of VF or better.
Look at a coin such as the 1839 No Drapery and get back to me on what you are paying now. James

I didn't even know there was a give away forum. Anyway, if your looking for it, it's there.

I'm talking vintage, at least pre 65. Do you keep the rolls intact as an investment or do you open them? I don't think I could resist the temptation of opening them. Looking on the bay, there are so many obvious fakes, you would really have to know what you are doing to not get scammed.

Fantastic example of the variety, but unfortunately, the color looks off and it looks to be cleaned. I just don't see it straight grading.
